would want this message to get out. these things are serious. they carry the same prognosis as many other medical conditions, and it's time we begin treating diseases above the neck the same as we treat diseases below the neck. that is to say brain diseases that cause behavioral problems and addiction. and depression, they're medical problems that have a medical treatment. and if they don't, if they go unattended, they can be fatal. >> for people who might be facing a similar situation, might be struggling but are afraid of the stigma attached to mental illness, what do you say to them? >> what i want to say, wolf, please don't be another statistic because of people's backwards attitudes about your condition. and for those who love and are around those individuals struggling with this, don't do this alone. don't try to help that person on your own. if somebody has an imminent thought of hurting themselves, that's a medical emergency as

serious as if they had chest pain or shortness of breath or became unconscious. enlist the help of an emergency room, a mental or medical health professional or law enforcement if you need to. do not go alone. and in more chronic situations, this is, wolf, what we've been seeing over and over again in newtown and arizona with the kid who killed his parents, 90% i report on are people with serious mental issues that go unaddressed, who don't want to address it. if a doctor tells you you should get a conservatorship over a child, do it. the consequences of not doing so can be profound. >> great advice, dr. drew. thanks

cbs news is reporting that adam lanza who killed 26 people at sandy hook elementary school may have been trying to emulate another mass murderer. the report quotes law enforcement sources say he was obsessed with the guy who killed 77 people in norway in 2011 and apparently lanza wanted to top that death toll. another report says materials were found in his home. suzanne candiotti is following all of the developments. >> reporter: that's right. the working theory is this according to law enforcement sources. they're telling cbs news it's very liky that adam lanza wanted to one up anders brevic by shooting as many people he could in a close setting and match the body count. as you just indicated, of course, breivik killed 77 people in oz way, oslo, norway.

mainly teenagers, 69 of them at the time. now there is a report in the "hartford courant" today that says the reason that they're speculating about this is possible motive is they found materials as one might think, you know, how else did he get this idea? he found materials about breivik in the lanza home. that's why they're drawing that as a possibility as to what drove lanza to this. and so it's one of the things they're working on. and they're not solidifying it as yet. the connecticut state police are saying that this is a speculation at this time and they have not settled on any one motive. >> materials by that, i guess we can presume it means articles, information, things of that nature. >> you would think. you would think that's what it what at minimum. >> we're hearing more ties to possible video game. >> that's right. we reported all along that they did find video games in the lanza home. and that he had a fondness for

says the sure scale and duration of the sustained attacks against a wide set of industries from a singularly identified group in china leaves little doubt about the organization behind the group. they hit 141 organizations in 20 different industries. mandiant says the attacks targeted organizations in the u.s. the chinese defense ministry says the military has never supported any hacker activities but outgoing defense secretary lee on panetta voiced concern that a cyber attack could be crippling. wall street, the financial system, our ability to process credit cards. and earlier this month the president signed an executive order addressing the most basic cyber security needs mentioning this in his states of the union address. the president's order makes it easier for private companies in control of the infrastructure to share information with the government. both working on standards to protect companies. and by the way, this report right now that i'm giving you,

recognize their ownership of a trade mark or patent or an idea or a business model. and the u.s. government has -- in many different administrations has worked very hard with the chinese on that with little progress, i would say. this is would tell you it is little progress. so this strategic economic dialogue with the u.s. has with china, these are the types of things they talk about. >> thank you. >> new development this is morning on the bad batteries that grounded boeing's dreamliner. more business news. what experts found aboard one of the jets after emergency landing coming up. and if -- if you happen to be leaving the house right now, you can watch us any time on your desktop or mobile phone. just go to cnn.com/tv. if you think running a restaurant is hard, try running four. fortunately we've got ink. it gives us 5x the rewards on our internet, phone charges and cable, plus at office supply stores. rewards we put right back into our business.
